Answer:
The poles lies at 90° both North and South of equator.
Explanation:
The earth's surface is spherical and it has two ends each parallel is measured in relation to the equator i.e the 0 degrees. There are about 180 imaginary lines that encircle the globe and one degree of attitude covers about 111 km.
Due to the curves of the earth, the upper latitude circle is much smaller in size as compared to the great circle of the equator.
Also due to the axial tilt of the earth, the poles are formed opposite to the equator. The latitude grids are formed by the climatic zones.
